You represent and warrant to Playboy that You have the full legal right, power and authority to grant to Playboy the license provided for herein, that You own or control the complete Submission(s). This license shall be governed by the laws of the State of California.
You agree that Your Submission(s), and the exercise of the rights granted herein, pursuant to these Terms, does not and will not violate any applicable U.S. or state laws or regulations, or cause a breach of any agreement(s) with any third parties; and that none of the Submissions will infringe any copyright, invade any right of privacy, right of publicity, contain any libelous or slanderous material, or infringe or violate any intellectual property right or other right (including common law rights) of any other person or entity.
By submitting Your Submission(s), You agree to defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless Playboy and its parents, subsidiaries, related entities, partners, and each of its and their current and former officers, directors, partners, employees, agents, servants, heirs, administrators, executors, licensees, predecessors, successors, affiliates, subsidiaries, parents, representatives and assigns, jointly and severally, from and against any and all rights, claims, debts, demands, acts, agreements, liabilities, obligations, damages (including, without limitation, consequential and/or punitive damages), costs, fees (including, without limitation, those of attorneys), expenses, actions, and/or causes of action of every nature, character and description, whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, in law or equity in connection therewith which arise out of and/or relate to Your Submission(s) and/or Playboy’s or any of its affiliated entities’ use and/or loss of Your Submission(s).
You acknowledge that the internet may be subject to breaches of security and that Your Submission(s) may not be secure. You further acknowledge that Your Submission(s) will be non-confidential, and that by submitting Your Submission(s) and/or by the use of Your Submission(s) You are not creating a confidential, fiduciary or other type of special relationship and that Your decision to submit Your Submission(s) does not place Playboy or any of its affiliated persons or entities in a position different from that held by members of the general public, including with regarding to Your Submission(s).

Any provision of these Terms which is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, solely as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective only to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability, without affecting in any way the remaining provisions hereof in such jurisdiction or rendering that or any other provisions of these terms invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any other jurisdiction.
Nothing in these Terms shall be construed as a waiver or relinquishment of any right, remedy, or defense possessed by Playboy or any of its affiliated entities, all of which are expressly reserved.
